HC Deb 17 March 1893 vol 10 cc472-3

Considered in Committee.

(In the Committee.)

MR. HANBURY

This Bill was down for the Morning Sitting, and I object to its being taken now.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Chairman do report Progress, and ask leave to sit again."

THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE WAR OFFICE (Mr. WOODALL,) Hanley

This is a Consolidation Bill containing absolutely no contentious clauses. The late Secretary for War is entirely in accord with me in wishing to pass it.

MR. HANBURY

I cannot take that view of it, and I must object.

MR. T.M. HEALY

On a point of Order, Mr. Mellor, I should like to know how it is that three Orders of the Day have been put down in front of the ordinary Orders since the Morning Sitting? I want to know for guidance in the future.

THE CHAIRMAN

All Bills not reached at the Morning Sitting are put down for the Evening Sitting, and rearranged by the Government.

MR. T. M. HEALY

Surely, Sir, they ought not to be put as the first Orders.

Question put, and agreed to.
